Symptoms of babies in the anorexia stage include less intake of breastmilk or formula, refusal of milk, and interest in other things.
The main signs of anorexia nervosa are that the baby no longer loves breast milk or formula, or that the intake of breast milk or formula is less than daily, or that the intake is abnormal.
Infants may also show signs of milk refusal, such as twisting their head to one side or refusing to cooperate, restlessness, or even crying during feeding, while at the same time showing an interest in other things, such as looking around and grasping with both hands.
Although the infant’s intake of breastmilk or formula milk becomes less, there are no other physical symptoms and the infant is usually in good spirits.
Anorexia usually occurs after 4 months of life, which is a normal phenomenon in the normal development of babies, and parents are advised not to be too nervous, as the situation will get better after a period of time.
